Hey everyone...I am still alive over here! Well, I am still chewing on the news we received the other week regarding our prospects for Baby Butler. And while I have been chewing, I got my butt in gear and have been working out ever since. Oh yeah, and that big thud you heard last night was me falling out because I am exhausted. I have been working out in the mornings Monday-Thursday.
I have some of the sweetest friends and family who have been willing to workout with me and help to keep me motivated. Thank you to my sweet sister-in-law Alecia for going to the trainer with me at 4am. Thank you to my sweet friend Lesli for bringing your beautiful twins to the Greenway and walking 3 miles with me. Thank you to Angie for walking with me at the park on Mondays. Thank you Mr. Wonderful for making breakfast each morning after each workout. And to all of the encouraging words I have received to stay motivated I just want to say thank you. I have certainly leaned on you throughout this process thus far.
All of this motivation has made me think about somethings. Should I just stop pursuing baby and focus on working towards my fitness goals. While it seems that I have no choice but to do that, my OB/Gyn is willing to help us out with fertility a bit. My dilemma now is how to do both??? I am enjoying working out and I know that the results will eventually show...they better because I am very hungry a lot of the time! But to just give up and not try is eating me up...what's a girl to do?? I guess the best thing for me to do is to just keep improving myself and hope that, in the meantime, we eventually get the desires of our hearts. Would I be sad if I got pregnant before I reach my fitness goal...um NO! But I would be upset if I let time pass without working on myself and still have no baby. So I guess the pursuit continues and the body improvement continues. I am still a ball of questions but I am sure that the answer will reveal itself soon.
So right now we are waiting on this current cycle to end and then start anew. I will probably have to have the help of Provera to bring on the next cycle and then we will see what happens. That Femara was not as wonderful as I initially thought it would be. I have never gone over 30 days without a cycle so I know I won't be using that drug again. The headaches associated with taking that drug were horrible too. I will keep you updated about what happens next as I really am not sure what our next step will be. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers...we are headed in another direction but still have the same destination as before on this journey...
